- What’s the difference between genetics and epigenetics? Jabe provides clarity on what they are, and a good analogy for understanding it.
Genes: The hand of hard you’ve been dealt. Knowing the hand of cards you’ve been dealt helps you manage and mitigate known risks.
Epigenetics: Cards that are being played - you can hold the cards but it’s not until you use them that they play out and “turn on”.

Doesn't really explain much, like how you "turn on" genes, just with wishful thinking or what? So what turns genes off and on? Truth is we don't know, it's guesswork.
There's a growing body of data demonstrating how diet, exercise, stress, sleep, and even exposure to toxins can all play a role in gene expression. It's not guesswork - there’s solid science showing how these factors affect DNA methylation, histone modification, and other mechanisms that regulate gene activity.
